VeriSign proposed the idea of committing to an investment of $200m over 10
years if the agreement was successfully renegotiated. ICANN then proposed
new terms and negotiations started. Recognizing that I was not directly
involved in the negotiations, it appears to me that the terms proposed by
ICANN were basically the terms in the new gTLD agreements. I conclude this
because the new .net and .org agreements are almost identical to the new
gTLD agreements.
So the short answer is: ICANN proposed the terms of the new agreement after
VeriSign suggested the possibility of the investment. Joe Sims confirmed
this in Melbourne.

Hello Chuck,
This new contract did not present itself. Somebody proposed it. Who was that
exactly ?
